While I was upstate in Climax, NY, my family friends have their whole dinning room filled with framed Carl Larsson prints. Larsson was a Swedish illustrator best known for his intimate portraits of his everyday life and family home.

Larsson stated that his legacy through these illustrations “became the most immediate and lasting part of my life’s work. For these pictures are of course a very genuine expression of my personality, of my deepest feelings, of all my limitless love for my wife and children.”
